My deluxe version from Pipcultcha finally shipped. I think I may part out the Batsignal version I already have. Takes up too much space. But that signal sure is cool.

Yes this forum is for pros and cons of figures. But not a forum for personal insults, grudges and name calling. Even if you believe they are beneath you and not worthy of respectful dialogue. It won't just be the people you attack that tire of it and block you. Please, just take it down a notch.

Sure. - swapped to a OT Customs collar - added padding to the traps and lats, while removing some from his obliques. - split the collar ends of the cape for accuracy - used some double sided fabric tape to tame his cape - added a bit of weathering on his suit with a tamiya weathering kit - took...

Whoa I got real lucky. I threw some new batteries in and discovered that when the switch snapped off, it did so in the “on” position. So at least the led chest still lights up, but I have to install/remove the battery every time I want to turn it on/off.

1. No I didn’t need to take in the suit anywhere. It conforms really well to the new shape. 2. I reattached the bodysuit under the crotch, since it was just a single stitch. Helps keep the shirt tucked in. 3. There’s a small piece of black foam under the top of the shoulder armor to lift them a...

Yeah all the InArt hands look a little to long and slender.

Okay I'm sure I'll get absolutely flamed for saying this, but I think when comparing to the InArt, just a few mods to the body shape, make a huge difference to the end result. I know not everyone likes to mod, so I understand the immediate preference to InArt. AND I'M NOT SAYING HOT TOYS IS...

It’s pretty easy to get under the suit around the waist. Just drop the trousers and there’s a single stitch under the crotch that holds the bodysuit/top down. Snip this stitch, and further modding is easy. I did this to remove some bulk from his waist and it work well balancing his proportions.

Credit to Eric Lovato on facebook for posting this mod. He suggested using light coats of yellow acrylic paint to tint the led in the batsignal. I went a bit further and added an additional warming filter, cut to size, behind the glass. This helps balance the color and also gives the glass a...

Hey all, I'm looking for a torso. The light up feature switch on mine snapped off. Either the original diecast release, or the reissue works, since they're identical. Let me know if you're looking to part yours out. I'm in the US

Keep checking eBay. I got an extra drape cape version last week there for $25. I saw one the week before for around $35. I’m sure more will pop up as the last wave hits the US.

I'm with you, mate. Dude's arms would have to be inhumanly skinny to fit in InArts' suit/armor. They need some more bulk. I may repaint HT's to match InArt's finish an swap them out, and pad out the arms a bit. Maybe even swapping gauntlets. It will be fun to mix and match the best bits.

Whoa, you're coming in hot dude. Let them like what they like or think what they think. What's the big deal? They're toys.

errr. I don't think there's some manipulated psychological self delusion going on here to justify their opinion. I think people just see things differently. I don't think there is a "deep down" place in my personal opinions about collectibles/toys, lol. We just see the InArt as better in many...

I think a lot of early release poor image quality is to blame.
